Terror Expert: London Bomber Was Working For MI5

A noted terror expert has told the BBC that Mohammed Siddique Khan,
the alleged ringleader of the 7/7 London bombings, was working for British intelligence
agency MI5 as an informant at the time of the attacks.

Charles Shoebridge
is a 12-year veteran detective of the London Metropolitan Police, a former graduate
of the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, and now a broadcaster and writer
on terrorism in the UK.

Shoebridge told the BBC Newshour program that from the evidence little else
can be assumed other than that Khan was working for British intelligence.

"The amount of information coming out and the quality of information coming
out. The fact that that has been so consistently overlooked it would appear
by the security service MI5, to me suggests really only one of two options."

"Either, a) we've got a level of incompetence that would be unusual even
for the security services. But b) possibly, and this is a possibility, that
this man Khan may even have been working as an informant for the security service."

"It is difficult otherwise to see how it can be that they've so covered
his tracks in the interim."

This meshes with the inconceivable
coincidence of exercises which drilled the same targets being attacked at
the same time being conducted by Visor Consultants and eyewitness reports suggesting
the accused displayed no behavior conducive with suicide bomber.

The alleged bombers bought return train tickets, left pay-and-display valid
tickets on their cars in Luton, and their movements captured on CCTV gave no
indications that they were nervous about their imminent deaths. Even Metropolitan
Police investigators now believe that the bombers were dupes set up by somebody
else and didn't know they were carrying live explosives.

7/7 links with British intelligence agencies don't end with Khan. Terror
expert John Loftus told Fox News' Dayside show that alleged London bombing
mastermind Haroon Rashid Aswat was an MI6 intelligence asset that British security
helped protect and hide before the bombings.

Recent media reports concerning Khan's movements have brought to light evidence
that Khan's
Honda Accord was bugged by MI5 prior to the bombings. Though denied by the
Metropolitan Police, this would again sync with the supposition that Khan was
doing the bidding of British intelligence when four bombs ripped apart three
trains and a bus on July 7, killing 52 and injuring more than 770.
